Opinion: No, politics haven’t become polarized. Only one side has moved to the extremes Many became attracted to fringe ideas and conspiracy theories on the right, but there hasn’t been a similar shift, of any significant scale, on the left

We’ve got in the habit, starting in earnest a year ago, of blaming the craziness of populists on political polarization.

But there has not, in any measurable way, been a general polarization to extremes of left and right. Only one side became polarized

Speaker Johnson should just take the L on this vote. Most of America doesn’t want this bill to pass anyways. It’s it both the worst and most unpopular piece of legislation in modern history.

Almost twice as many people ride the New York City bus every day as live in Wyoming.

The bus should have two senators

But then where do these people poke to make some random part of their body (often the genitals) feel a phantom pain?

BREAKING: A federal judge ruled all transgender and intersex people can obtain passports that align with their gender identity while the case against President Trump's executive order proceeds.

While this is good news, we will continue fighting until this executive order is blocked permanently.

424 segments for fewer than 10 college players and 5 K-12 players in the entire country. That’s more than 28 segments per school athlete.

This is what rule by the confidently ignorant looks like; sabotage stuff you don't understand and then discover it was actually doing vital work well at trivial cost

I said β€œlove your work” to John Flansburgh of They Might Be Giants who was apparently staying in the room next door at this hotel and then quickly ducked into my room before he could respond.

Cops escalate non-violent protests by attacking peaceful protesters and then arresting them for being shot at. It’s literally what they’re out there for. They’re shooting reporters who are doing live spots on camera.

Text reading: I had to come down to Los Angeles for Work and ended up trying to help with the raid last night. As a Bernie usefully. Waited by the entrance for detainees 
We were repeatedly denied access of any kind, and eventually LAPD force removed attorneys ice. Also tear gassed a baby under age two. Today they told us to come back at eight to see the clients, but they ever refused entry to us as well as politicians, including Jimmy, Gomez, and right now. They’re releasing some kind of gas, so the Attorneys can’t breathe

Here are some texts I got from an immigration lawyer friend of mine. Shared with permission. Some of the bleakest shit I’ve ever heard.

As I’ve learned more, I’m strongly convinced it’s all variations of the same thing so you’re going to get some of each regardless. The distinction between the two isn’t meaningful outside of formal diagnosis IMO.

For me (been adult tested for both, likely both, only ADHD dx) in similar situ there were/are potentially two factors in play:

β€’ varying-degrees-of-ableist self-conception that amount to β€œI can’t be autistic, I’m exceptional in a good way”

β€’ β€œfemale” autism presentation often missed incl in AMAB

"Society has gone too far in accommodating trans people" is an utter joke of a position because if we're being absolutely honest society has barely done anything at all to accommodate us besides letting us leave the house and if we're white letting us come home at the end of the day.

Something I hope everyone covers this tomorrow notes is that...the President has no authority whatsoever to make trade deals without congress. None. Not even the pretext of one.
